Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion Clinical Trial
— AMPIRIOfficial title:
LAmbre Versus AMPLATZER Amulet Left AtrIal Appendage Occluder for StRoke ProphylaxIs: The Randomized AMPIRI Trial
The objective of this trial is to compare two different commercially available left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) devices in patients with non-valvular Atrial fibrillation/ atrial flutter (AF) at increased risk for stroke with regard to safety and efficacy. The investigators hypothesize that LAAO using the LAmbre occlusion device (Lifetech Scientific, Shenzhen, China) is non-inferior to LAAO using the AMPLATZER Amulet occlusion device (Abbott Medical, Chicago, ILL, USA) with regards to the primary endpoint, which is peri-device leak (PDL) size 3 months after LAAO, as assessed with transesophageal echocardiography (TOE) in patients with non-valvular AF.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | PDL size after 3 months | Peri-device leak size (in mm) three months after successful LAAO as assessed with TOE. | three months | |
Secondary | Device Sucess | Defined as device deployed and implanted in correct position. | at index prozedure | |
Secondary | Procedural Duration | End time (closing of X-Ray) minus start time (access site puncture). | at index procedure | |
Secondary | Technical success | Defined as exclusion of the LAA with residual peri device leak size = 5mm and no device-related complications during index hospitalization. | during index hospitalization | |
Secondary | Procedural success | defined as technical success with no procedure-related complications, except for uncomplicated (minor) device embolization | at index procedure | |
Secondary | Device-related complications | All complications which are a result of the presence of the device and require either a surgical or percutaneous intervention or other medical treatment (device embolization, device erosion, clinically significant device interference with surrounding structure, device thrombus, device fracture, device infection/pericarditis, endocarditis, device perforation/laceration or device allergy) | at three months | |
Secondary | Procedure-related complications | Pericardial effusion with or without tamponade requiring pericardiocentesis or surgical intervention. | during index hospitalization | |
Secondary | Major bleeding | Defined as Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type = 3. | during index hospitalization | |
Secondary | Large residual peri-device leak size > 5mm | Large peri device leak size (in mm) >5 mm three months after successful LAAO as assessed with TOE. | at three months | |
Secondary | Device thrombus | Device thrombus at three months after successful LAAO as assessed with TOE. | at three months | |
Secondary | All-cause death or cardiovascular death | Cardiovascular Death:
Death due to proximate cardiac cause, e.g. myocardial infarction, cardiac tamponade, worsening heart failure, and endocarditis. Death caused by non-coronary, non-CNS vascular conditions such as pulmonary embolism, ruptured aortic aneurysm, dissecting aneurysm, or other vascular disease. Death from vascular CNS causes from haemorrhagic stroke or from ischaemic stroke. All procedure-related deaths, including those related to a complication of the procedure or treatment for a complication of the procedure. Sudden or unwitnessed death defined as non-traumatic, unexpected fatal event occurring within 1 hour of the onset of symptoms in an apparently healthy subject. If death is not witnessed, the definition applies when the victim was in good health 24 hours before the event. Death of unknown cause: Non-cardiovascular death: Death of a primary cause that is clearly related to another condition (e.g. trauma, cancer, suicide). |
during index hospitalization and up to 24 months | |
Secondary | Composite of ischaemic stroke or systemic embolism | Incidence of ischaemic stroke or systemic embolism, as described below. | during index hospitalization and up to 24 months | |
Secondary | All-stroke | Defined as an acute episode of focal or global neurological deficit with at least one of the following: change in the level of consciousness, hemiplegia, hemiparesis, one-sided numbness or sensory loss, dysphasia or aphasia, hemianopia, amaurosis fugax or any other neurological signs or symptoms consistent with stroke. It is caused by brain, spinal cord, or retinal vascular injury as a result of hemorrhage or infarction. A transient ischemic attack (TIA) should be clearly distinguished from ischemic stroke, based on focal neurological symptoms lasting <24 hours and imaging-confirmed absence of acute brain infarction. Therefore, it is mandatory to recommend imaging confirmation as part of the diagnosis. Stroke assessment requires a neuroimaging and neurological examination, preferably by a neurologist. | during index hospitalization and up to 24 months | |
Secondary | Systemic embolism | Systemic embolism: Acute vascular insufficiency or occlusion of the extremities or any non-central nervous system organ associated with clinical, imaging, surgical/autopsy evidence of arterial occlusion in the absence of other likely mechanism (e.g., trauma, atherosclerosis, or instrumentation). When there is presence of prior peripheral artery disease, angiographic or surgical or autopsy evidence is required to show abrupt arterial occlusion. | during index hospitalization and up to 24 months |
